Illuminato board with 42 I/O's

Replying to myself again...

These guys just keep at it. Now they have a bunch more projects available to pre-order at their Open Source Hardware Bank (http://www.oshwbank.org/)

I really like the Equalizer shield idea. Could be used for a neat clock.

Again, not affiliated with these guys. Just thought the hardware looked cool. I am anxiously awaiting my Illuminato order.

hey boerner... i spent so much time building those schematics and making 3d models, i forgot to actually write a blog about it... you beat me to the punch. :slight_smile: ok time to write it up i guess.

anyway, now you're not officially replying to yourself becuase i posted in between - ha

I can't wait to get mine :slight_smile:

Liquidware seems to have brought PCB design to a new level. It looks like art the things you guys make.

Aye, very impressive stuff :slight_smile:

Very nice drawings and schematics and awesome pictures too

Would love to see a howto :slight_smile:

Speaking of writing it up, Matt's been a little busy, so I blogged a couple of the new additions here, chock full of 3d pics :slight_smile:

Fantastic, thanks :slight_smile:

Can't wait for the howto :wink:

What kind of software do you guys use?

That is one sweet board! You guys do such good work.

I hope that somebody somewhere is seriously considering formalizing the Illuminato into a Standard Arduino design. There is a serious hole, price and performance wise, between the duemilinove and the MEGA.

  • Illuminato is like the best looking Duino ever!

I'm new here so don't understand if this board would suit my requirements - I want to be able to use the 42 dig I/O pins to send PWM signal to 42 LEDs to vary the brightness of each. Is this feasible?

Not all of the pins on the Illuminato support PWM output. If you want to extend your PWM outputs, have a look at the TLC5940 pwm LED driver from Texas Instruments

Is it documented how many pins support PWM?
